BALLView can be considered a graphical user interface on the basis of
BALL (Biochemical Algorithms Library) with a focus on the most common
demands of protein chemists and biophysicists in particular. It is
developed in the groups of Hans-Peter Lenhof (Saarland University,
Saarbruecken, Germany) and Oliver Kohlbacher (University of Tuebingen,
Germany). BALL is an application framework in C++ that has been
specifically designed for rapid software development in Molecular
Modeling and Computational Molecular Biology. It provides an extensive
set of data structures as well as classes for Molecular Mechanics,
advanced solvation methods, comparison and analysis of protein
structures, file import/export, and visualization.
